I should have asked for a refund

When I first came across the LANGMANNI 12 Colors Sculpting Matte Velvet Lip Liner set, the idea of getting 12 different shades for under $10 really enticed me. However, my excitement quickly faded once I started using them. One thing I noticed immediately was the lack of pigmentation. Unlike many lip liners I've used before, these felt almost sheer on my lips, which meant I had to layer them multiple times — not ideal for a quick makeup routine. Another downside was the texture and durability of the liners. They had a surprisingly soft tip, which unfortunately meant they snapped or broke very easily. This not only made application frustrating but also meant I used up the product faster than I expected. The amount of product in each pen seemed quite minimal, so I didn't feel like I was getting good value despite the low price. As someone with darker skin, I also found that several of the colors failed to show up vibrantly or complement my natural tone. This is an important consideration if you have medium to dark skin, as lip products need to have strong pigmentation and a suitable color range to really enhance your look. What I’ve learned from this experience is that while it’s tempting to buy multi-pack beauty products for convenience and savings, quality matters just as much as quantity. Investing a bit more in a well-known brand with proven pigment and lasting power can save you time, money, and frustration in the long run. If you’re looking for a reliable lip liner that works well on deeper skin tones and won’t break apart, it’s worth reading multiple user reviews and maybe trying samples before committing. In summary, this product was disappointing and I would not recommend it, especially if you need long-lasting, rich pigmentation and durability. Always test products when possible, and consider your unique skin tone and makeup needs to avoid waste and dissatisfaction.
